Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Jun 27, 2023

The east leg carries the load — 4,098 westbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 24. Most cyclists arrived from the east (411 of 816). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,199 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 21% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (990). Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's counter on Dundas St E between Brooklyn Ave and Lane E of Brooklyn and S of Dundas (34 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 14,400 vehicles a day. Dagmar Ave between Marjory Ave and Galt Ave measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Aug 2004). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Dagmar Avenue between Dundas St E and Jones Ave (installed 2006).

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Toronto Police place ten thefts from vehicles and six bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 1 in 2023–2025, about 0.3 a year, against 2.1 a year before that. 60% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 100% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages.
